    Great evening

    by Had a blast on 12/14/21Crystal Bay Club Casino Crown Room - Crystal Bay

    We really enjoyed the show. The band sounded great all night. Fantastic song selection and we danced most of the evening. The Crystal Bay Club venue is a perfect place to catch a show. Big enough for a good size crowd yet intimate enough to feel a part of the band. Keep them coming! Thanks

    Great band! Loved the venue.

    by Lynette on 8/23/21Revolution Concert House & Event Center - Garden City

    The labels on the tables were kind of hard to understand but we finally found our seats. The band was so great and the bar area was large so no crowding.

    Petty Theft is Hard Driving Rock

    by Dan S on 7/22/19Crystal Bay Club Casino Crown Room - Crystal Bay

    Love the Tom Petty sound and enjoyed this tribute band. The lead singers voice is different but he can belt out the Petty songs. The only disappointment was that it was not clear that we would stand the whole time. We had seats 33 & 34. We thought we would be sitting. We are 69 years old. But the venue, Crystal Bay, was great and professionaland so was the band

    Petty Theft Stole My Heart

    by PixieGthe1st on 8/21/18Crystal Bay Club Casino Crown Room - Crystal Bay

    Petty Theft is more than just a tribute band. These are accomplished musicians who love what they do. And they hang around after the show. They love to meet the audience, and are super personable. If they come near where you are, go see them...you'll be transported.

    Petty Theft - Great Show- Zoo Station not so much

    by Foodiepatootie on 6/27/11Thunder Valley Casino Resort - Lincoln

    **** 4 stars for Petty Theft * 1 star for Zoo Station Bottom line: Petty Theft got an encore as the opening act, and Zoo Station didn't as the headliner. That says it all and means I was not the only one that liked Petty Theft more than Zoo Station. Petty Theft opened the show, and these guys didn't try to look like them or move like them they just PLAYED like them. Great musicianship, great sound, I'd see them again and recommend them to anyone that loves Tom Petty or just loves to listen to a talented band. Zoo Station "headlined" the show, and they were nowhere near as good as Petty Theft. The lead singer had a leather outfit on and Bono glasses and he moved like Bono and tried to talk like Bono, but he cannot SING like Bono at all. So here's the problem, if you're going to try and BE Bono you have to sound like him too. Otherwise just go up and play your version of the U2 songs and rock it just like Petty Theft did. Also, the sound was very empty and lacking, because anyone that knows U2 knows that Edge comes with tons of prerecorded audio to fill in for all the produced sounds on the CDs. Another thing, "Fake Bono" spent a ton of time running around in the audience which really took away from the show because when he did this no one could see him except for the people that he was standing near and the band wasn't doing anything special to draw your attention to them. This behavior just didn't fit the venue and made him look stupid. So, I would see Petty Theft again and they need to headline or be the only band playing. I would not see Zoo Station again, even if it was free admission.

    short but sweet

    by heff13 on 6/27/11Thunder Valley Casino Resort - Lincoln

    The shows were very good. especially U2, the reason I went. Tom Petty played for 1 hr, until 9pm. and after a break U2 started at maybe 9:10. They finished just at 10pm, with no encore. Their music and Bono's stage show were a good 'tribute' to U2. But just too short!!!

    Petty Theft Makes You Smile and Cheer!

    by Moonmama on 6/1/11George's - San Rafael

    You can tell by these 2 photos taken from various stages around Northern California that Petty Theft is very much loved and adored by it's full capacity crowds at every show. The venues these are taken from are George's in San Rafael, CA and Last Day Saloon in Santa Rosa, CA.
